The purpose of BrilliantStream,com is to help build a stronger craft beer culture by informing and empowering beer consumers.
I support a beer market for adults of legal age that is free of outdated or unnecessary anti-competitive restrictions and archaic concepts. I’m an advocate of safe, responsible alcohol use. I support reasonable laws and regulations for the alcohol industry that provide for and promote public safety and limit the downside of alcohol abuse.
I love helping our small craft beverage businesses make stronger connections to their consumers in a manner that builds markets and sales. In this, I especially like those who continuously strive to improve their product quality and business acumen. I love creative industry members who are welcoming to and inclusive of all people.
I enjoy working with creative artisans who develop new products and break new ground. I love seeing brewers include locally-sourced ingredients in their products. I get excited as I see small beverage producers employ more people and help their local economies grow.
As a long-time member and supporter of the Brewers Association, I am an avid follower of the industry that includes small, independent craft breweries and the businesses that supply them with ingredients, equipment, and services. It has been so much fun watching the small brewery industry grow to over 9,000 breweries nationally.
I also provide a bit of coverage for the hobby of homebrewing. I believe that homebrewers add so much to the future of craft brewing.
